Morgan LARSON and Pete SPAULDING (USA) completed the double in Miami by taking the ISAF Grade C1 49er North American Championship with a race to spare on Biscayne Bay. The consistent American pair finished the 12 race series with a near 30-point winning margin over team mates Tim WADLOW and Chris RAST (USA).

Added to victory in the ISAF Grade 1 Rolex Miami OCR just a week ago, LARSON and SPAULDING look set for a big boost up the 49er Rankings, when the ISAF World Sailing Rankings are released on Wednesday 7 February.

In contrast to their tight Medal Race win at the OCR, LARSON and SPAULDING never lost control of the 38 strong 49er fleet at the North Americans. Despite failing to post a single race win, the American duo ended up with a 26 point winning margin over WADLOW and RAST.

Jan-Peter PECKOLT and Hannes PECKOLT (GER) followed in third place, ahead of Peter HANSEN and Soren HANSEN (DEN) and 2006 North American Champions Dalton BERGAN and Zach MAXAM (USA).
